You just can't go and do something without messing up...can you DBD?
Ghost faces power is so laughable, its actually disgusting, yes I know "Man chill its just the PT-"
Just think for a second, why in gods name did they think or for anyone in this matter, think that his power should be depleted if a survivor looks at him is alright? What went through their minds to think that "We should be able to let survivors just constantly look around with their 360 field of view so that his power is never used"? If you don't know yet, If a survivor looks at you, not the character, but their camera view, it stops ghost faces power Immediately, which completely neglects his power overall, please try to tell me how that is fair.
And the sound cues are just.....why? Why notify all four survivors that you are now sneaking around and that you are Ghost Face, just so they can be on high alert? You made him to be a stealth killer like The Shape and The Pig but allow all survivors to hear you entering your power, and the fact that if someone looks at him, the power just stops and you can't waste time waiting for it to recharge and that goes with the fact that when that does happen, his terror radius and red stain comes back, so, wth? Completely the opposite of a stealth killer.
Any detection perks will completely screw him over, and make his power non existent.
So many reworks need to be already done with Ghost Face, and its not even a day after PTB had open, no not buffs or changes devs, reworks, since for some reason, the word "rework" means just buffing or changing only one thing and that's it.
It makes it all the more worse that it's completely impossible to stalk someone in the corn field (And dear god, we need a big rework for all the coldwind farm maps) so if you play Ghost Face and get one of the Coldwind farm maps, you are basically screwed, gg.
What's wrong Devs? Are you too scared to make another top tier killer? You just want to make a killer where the survivors have complete control over? You want all the high rank survivors just to stay lazy and not develop new skills to deal with a new potential top tier killer?
So much hype for GhostFace and you give us this disappointing thing? Makes me wonder about all the other stuff you said in the livestream, sound great, but will come out being disappointing
And last thing to note, by seeing all the addons so far, GhostFace looks like it gonna be a killer where if you don't have addons, you not gonna do well (aka legion)
At best, GhostFace might do well in ranks 20-15, but after that, its back to billy and nurse again.

The only thing I want is for people to only be alerted if they were in his terror radius if that's not the case already and for survivors to have to look directly at him for at least a second to deactivate his power. He would be a decent killer if you can't cancel his power so easily.
His power allows instant down so, the warning is kinda a given. I agree that it's too easily deactivated, but the whole point of a ptb is to properly test it out.
Also. There is no reason to be so incredibly rude to the people who work so hard to bring you new content. So in the very least, keep your complaints concise instead of using the forums as a dumping ground.
I would like to point out that they (the devs) very clearly defined what they consider a rework. And it absolutely isn't "just buffing or changing only one thing and that's it".
The Legion change? Update
The Plague PTB changes? No title
A ton of misc perk changes? No title
The DS change that completely changed the fundumental use case, replaced a lot of it's properties and added a new mechanic to it that didn't exist before? Rework.
Completely redesigning Freddie's power from the ground up? Rework.
It may sound like I'm nitpicking since it wasn't your main point at all. But if you're going to start accusing them of failing at the things they get right then it shows that the complaining is more important to you than trying to improve things.
Either way. It is far too soon to start saying he needs a rework. And I'm not saying that because it is the PTB because a problem is a problem no matter when you find out about it. And I'm also not saying that because he doesn't need some love.
I say it's too soon for a rework because we haven't even TRIED smaller changes yet. I highly doubt that it is fundamentally impossible to make a power like ghostfaces work.
For example what if in order break ghostface out of stealth you had to look directly at him (so some part of him is in the EXACT center of the screen) for 10 seconds straight.
No rework, just some number changes, yet it ain't so easy to break him out of stealth now is it?
Of course that would be totally broken, since he could easily just expose anyone whenever he felt like it. But to just say "thus he can't be fixed and needs a rework" is a defeatist attitude.
1 is obviously too weak, and 10 is obviously too strong, but there are plenty of numbers between 1 and 10, and plenty of other numbers to tweak with things like the time until someone is exposed, the recharge time on his ability or even more fundamental things like his unstealthed terror radius and even the range you can hear him entering stealth at like what @AChaoticKiller suggested.
At this point even legion is laughing at ghost face
Writing out verbose rhetoric like "What's wrong Behaviour, are you scared?" is rude. You don't have to outright insult people to be insulting. The post is filled to the brim with feedback that could be mostly beneficial, but it is subverted by the Op's overbearing usage of said rhetoric and overall antagonistic attitude.
The devs will address these issues in due time; they're the providers and they're the ones who work hard to fix issues and create our content. So save the entitled rudeness and be patient.
In due time?
It took them nearly 3 years to fix the fact that Survivors could see the Killer's perks after they die. Dave Richard legitimately said during Year 1 streams that he thought the game was already like that.
They literally don't know ######### about their own game half the time. And when they do discover something jacked up, they take for-dick-ever for fix it.
Meanwhile, Deathgarden looks great and has resurrected itself from the dead. This is what love and care get you.
Once again. You're just being crass and undermining your own argument. It doesn't matter, they still try and make changes. At the time, it worked just fine. Swf was the only true downfall. But looknow, they've fixed that issue. No matter how much you rant and rave, like so many others, they still put up with it and give out content. Imagine having that kind of weight on your back? The amount of crude entitlement your words and so many others carries is obnoxious and toxic.
